The strategy sets short and medium term renewable energy targets. The strategy targets from 2010 to 2015 were as follows:
Non-hydro renewable power generation: 4% to 6%
Electricity generation: 1,064MW to 1,722MW
Transmission and distribution lines: total length doubled
Electricity access: 2% to 6% in rural areas, 14% to 18% nationally
The Ministry of Energy and Minerals (MEM) added the small hydro portion to the target in its 2011 Medium Term Strategic Plan 2012-16.
MEM’s “Electricity Supply Industry Reform Strategy and Roadmap” added modest capacity projections of "envisaged growth" of 100MW of solar and 200MW each of geothermal and wind by 2025. IEA/IRENA Global Renewable Energy Policies and Measures Database © OECD/IEA and IRENA, [November 2020]
